Twitter has unveiled its updated (and reportedly clarified) privacy policy, along with a game you can play in your web browser that's supposed to explain some of the more complex elements.
Privacy Policy for your game? No problem! (generate and publish)
Privacy on Twitter is important to a lot of people, which is likely why Twitter Safety announced the policy updates directly on the platform. According to Twitter, the goal was to make the new policy easier for the average person to parse by reducing the legalese and using clearer language. It also released Twitter Data Dash, a browser-based game you can play that should help people better understand some of the more complicated elements of the policy.
Twitter Data Dash is a mechanically simple game, with each level themed around a different aspect of using the social media platform. Jump over ads, avoid unwanted direct messages while opening the ones you do want, and so on. At the start of each section, a text box appears explaining the objective and how it relates to Twitter. From there, you’ll be collecting bones while finding other items or avoiding obstacles.
Although the game is really more of a cartoonish representation of using Twitter as a service, rather than a description of its privacy policy. For those details, you’ll be better off checking out its updated website , which explains what data is collected, how that data is used, how your information is shared, how long it’s stored, what you can do to control your information, and what your legal rights are.
